Welcome
My latest book is the bestselling
Periodic Tales: The Curious Lives of the Elements, published by
Viking / Penguin Books in 2011. It was
BBC Radio 4’s Book of the Week and is now out in paperback.
An occasional (periodic?) adjunct to the book is an entertaining evening of talks, demonstrations and chemical messy linked to the elements at the
Wellcome Collection in London. Details of the first of these events may be found
here. The next event is on 22 June 2012.
Explore this website for further information, including
news, publicity and events relating to
Periodic Tales, as well as to my other
books,
exhibitions and
journalism.
You can buy Periodic Tales direct from Penguin,
or from Amazon
in the UK, or from Waterstones, or support your local bookshop by ordering from them.
